Didn't know that ePerl had been abandoned---of course Ralf has had a
lot on his hands with just apache lately.
Embperl is, of course, free for someone who uses it to maintain. And
perhaps I will check on it and do NMUs on it from time to time. But I
don't have any code to test it with, etc., which makes me a poorer
maintainer than pretty much _anyone_ who actually makes use of it.
As far as alternatives with a future, there's HTML::Mason, which I
both use and maintain, and is actively developed upstream, etc.
But I agree, one solution != many.
Mike.
